Cessan 172 - G1000 equipped

[navigator72]

I just flew in a Brand new Cessna 172 fully equipped with the G1000 avionics package and I have to say it is pretty sweet. Much different than the old puddle jumpers I am used to.

You really think Bush has comitted crimes against Humanity and the Planet?

You really think AOPA is useless?

Yes, I see that Boeing is finally putting something that looks comparible, into their latest jetliner!

In the case of Meigs Field, very useless.

That thing has nicer computers than the CRJ (and a lot of other jets that I haven't flown). If you can master the G1000, the transition to a "glass" paneled jet will be no sweat.

Save it for the "Non Aviation Related" forum fellas.

where's the bbq in this thread

One aspect of the g1000 that is inexplicable, and potentially really bad, is that on the main display, the glideslope and localizer needle do not seem to be on the same part of the display.

The top part of the display with the artificial horizon has the glideslope, and the bottom section of the display with the "HSI" has the localizer on it. Why they didnt put both on the same display, like every other efis, and like every hsi out there, well I do not know

I've flown a glass 172.

It's pretty nice until you take off, and then you realize you're still flying a f'ing 172.

Justify what you are saying...what more could they have done...blown up the dozers on the midnight raid?

They got more email from their members about meigs than the temp shutdown of flying after 9 11...

Honestly, back it up.

They could have actually kept the airport in existance if they didn't feel it was a waste of time. They didn't try hard enough, they didn't care. They got Bulldozed by Mayor Daley, who was comitting an illegal act.

If they can't protect Meigs Field, they cannot protect anything.

I see, and what planet were you living on at the time?

You turd, AOPA invested a lot more resources than anyone else to fight that battle, and it still isn't over. They continue to push for civil penalties. If you want to be pissed at someone, be pissed at the courts for not issuing the Injunction. Or maybe at Daley, since he's the one who did it.

And who cares about the G1000? The rest of that airplane is still 60 year old technology.

Yay, I'm a turd! So is Phil Boyer and his fancy jet!

...
unlike that 30-40 year old technology in the LJ-60 and CL-30

 

[RichardRambone]

G1000 is super bada$$. Makes flying a great video game. You have to look outside to remember you're flying an airplane.

 

[cforst513]

dude, nice timing, i just got home from riding with 2 CFI's in a brand new 172 with the G1000 cockpit. amazing. simply put, this cockpit, once you get the hang of it, is mindboggling. it was so cool!!!!

Someone hasn't been reading his B&CA magazines!

Blech.

Dear Turd,
I didn't realize Phil Boyer had a jet. I don't know why he would need one since the company that he heads has a corporate jet (as do many, many other companies including the one that employs me.)

Maybe you should send AOPA a resume. I'm sure you could a better job. Perhaps after seeing your ignorant rants, they'll have an opening for a new Executive Director or Chief Counsel.

Do you blame AOPA for closing MSY and NEW after Katrina?

 

[Geronimo4497]

The G1000 is pretty cool, but I sure don't like the fact that you can do a "partial fill up" of fuel into the fuel computer. The only option at this point is to fill the whole thing up. Pretty lame. Oh yeah, where the heck is the flight director. I'm sure it will be there on the Mustang, so it can't be that hard on the 172. Mo Bucks.........

bigDI've flown a glass 172.

Exactly

Lmao you radical clown, Do I blame Boyer for closing MSY and NEW? Of course not, I blame George W. Bush!

Exactly

I am pretty sure the avidynes let you do a partial fill up.

Sounds like there are still some issues to be worked on for it.

That is wrong. I know a Collins ProLine IV has the G/S on the ADI and LOC CDI is on the HSI.
I'm pretty sure most are like this.

 

[414Flyer]

Thanks for the correctlon. Still seems a bit odd to seperate them.

 

[Hipster Loser]

Wouldnt it be neat if those screens could be put into instructor mode and the instructor could change the settings so that he could fail some instruemnts and gauges on the students and reset them.

This would be done from the instructor side and the student wouldnt know rather than reaching over and covering the instruemnts.

 

[Metro752]

Just take a mouse pad with Elmers Glue and slap em on the LCDs

 

[Hipster Loser]

I'm talking about an unpredicted failure. kind of like in a sim. over temp, slow gyro failure, blocked static source, erroneous airspeed indications, etc. which the student needs to catch....
